Warmoth will build a carved top 7 similar to a prs. They have a 25" scale or baritone 28.6" scale though. I've heard it takes them a long time to paint one too, but its one pretty cheap option if you don't mind piecing one together. Warmoth Direct - 7 String Bodies

There is one in the Carvin museum here: The Carvin Museum - CT3 Player's Gallery It looks pretty good on the carved top model, but I have never seen it on a dc model.

I definitely had to drill out mine to get a 64 gauge string in my sperzel tuner. It's not a big deal if you have a dremmel, but it's a little extra aggravation.

Nice SC sig. I fought down the urge to order one of those not long ago.

Carvins are pretty bright sounding. I was always a fan of brighter tones like strats and teles, so I love the sound of them. But, if you like dark guitar tone, lots of people probably find them a little bright/thin sounding.

That color yellow with the black hardware looks hot! :yesway:

I heard lots of bad things about their pickups, but the stock pups on mine sound pretty good. I especially like the neck pup split.

I guess I should mention that the white/white paintjob seemed to add signifigantly to the build time. It took 3 months total to build. The guy I called at Carvin said that it was a horribly difficult paint job to do right for some reason. I almost had them change the paint to something...

Carvins have the more narrow string spacing instead of the "F" spacing on most 7 strings don't they? :scratch:

Nice guitar! :shred:

I figured that I can always buff out the white later if it starts looking bad, but I hate fingerprints, so I went with the matte coating. The last gloss black guitar I had made me never want another gloss guitar. Fingerprint city. :lol: It's stock tone woods. Maple neck, Alder wings. I...

I had to screw out the thumb wheel thingy from the tuner for the low B string, drop the pin out, and widen the tuner hole. I think Carvin had it set up for a .056 or .058 gauge low B string. I have 9.5-13-17-26-36-49-64 on it now in A standard. I had to re-intonate a bit, but it was setup...

Thanks, the matte paint looks kinda strange on the rounded body of the Carvin. It makes it look almost like its made of plastic for some reason. :lol:

I just got in my matte white/white Carvin 727. I had them put a satin clearcoat over the white. Blank ebony board, and stainless frets. Excuse the quality of the pictures.
